Re: 1K new mast

From first hand experince swinger lost my business with poor customer service. My hummer bee's have earnd my loyalty by being dependable. Remember A&O are the people that made swinger into forklifts from a bucket loader and created the market. The argument as who's lift is better is like saying ford trucks are better than Chevy it's customer Preference. What you load your bee's with or haul them with has little to do with good bee's its a four letter word WORK that makes a Difference

Re: 1K new mast

Jimmy, I could really use a fifteen foot mast, we mix our own sugar, we buy it in 2200lb super sacks so when we try to cut the bottom of the sack to go into our 1000 gal tank I have to run the forklift onto ramps to clear the tank. Also, we have pallet racking that goes up 14ft high. I would of bought the 12 mast but that thing hits everything in sight, it looks from the pics that this 15 mast is low profile.

It seem like first dumpng the sugar into a bin on the ground would be a better option. Then lift the self-dumping bin up to the hopper. The bin is on top of the forks, rather than suspended from them, so clearance is much improved.

This bin might not be the exact size needed for your supersack, but demonstrates the idea.

Ha Rader, that was good .... But how we do it here is we have the tank already with water an the 3 inch pump going
an we just cut to the desired amount of flow rate so that it doesn't clump, it's fast takes about 30 minutes to mix 1000 gals.
